Beer Trail — Craft Breweries of Hauts-de-France

The Craft Beer Trail of Hauts-de-France is a four-hour tour of three breweries in northern France, starting at Brasserie Barbère, 55 Rue Pierre Motte, in Roubaix (59100), in the Lille metropolitan area. Bookings are made directly through the brewery on +33 3 20 73 01 31, and the listing notes that self-guided options are also possible for visitors who prefer to travel independently. The route links three producers, Brasserie Barbère, Brasserie de la Pévèle and Brasserie du Pays Flamand, which together show the range of the region's brewing tradition, from Flemish-style ales to the beers of the Pévèle countryside. The tour includes ten beer tastings spread across the three stops, so the drinking element is substantial, and a food pairing with northern French specialities is included to balance it. The pairings are savoury in character, matching local cheeses and regional dishes to the beers. The price is €45 (about $49) per person. Transport between the breweries is not listed as included, and the breweries lie some distance apart, so visitors should plan for a car with a designated driver, a taxi or a rideshare. The tour is rated 4.6 and runs year-round. The pace is steady, with about an hour at each stop plus travel time, and the tasting volumes add up over four hours. Group size and language of the commentary are not stated in the listing, and visitors should confirm both when booking. Dietary substitutions for the food pairing are likely to be limited, as it is built on regional cheese and meat specialities, so vegetarians, vegans and anyone with allergies should raise this before the tour. Beer styles can be adjusted on request only if the breweries agree, so non-drinkers should check beforehand.
